Monday like I said we had to go to a different email shop due to the public holliday closing our usual one. We didnt really do a who lot. The Storms have started so pretty much every night is crazy awesome lightning storms. so thats been way fun.
Tuesday i went on exchanges with the Zone Leader Elder Reber, we played tag with some kids, went to a day care, and taught some people. taught my first white person. John Voster
Wednesday, we played basketball with a lot of people got some investigators, got invited to a hip hop b-ball tournament, put Phimes friend Tebogo on date, and watched the restoration video with them.
Thursday we taught an entire family. mom, dad, and 3 teenage kids, the restoration and the LOVED it, this apearently doesn't happen to often, and having a father led family would really help the ward, and keep them all strong in the Ghospel. so expect more on them.
Friday we were at the WonderPark mall buying some bread since we had allotment again, and we decided to get ice cream, and some guy annonomysly payed for us. So i got a taste of what being a stateside missionary is like. but jokes aside it felt good to know that members are out there. because they're arnt alot.
Friday was that basketball tournament, and we played in our white shirts and ties, and won it. They were all like, "how are these well dressed White Guys beating us so bad?" it was hillarious, really helped get the name of the church out there, and earned us alot of respect. so that was good.
Saturday we had a Zone activity air softing and then Conference. it was weird to watch it in a chapel, and we still haven't watched sunday afternoon, i heard about Elder Hales, so thats sad. I took a lot of good notes, and we had a decent amount of people show up. even Phime and his friends came to the one in the morning!
Some notes from Conference::
God will bless you for your best
Avoid the 'Toxic Perfectionism' of comparison and the social media lens
Read the Family Proclamation and study it deeply and apply it. Like 50% of talks mentioned it.
Salvation is a personal matter, but Exaltation is a family thing
Let God know you are willing to follow his way
Elder Hollands Entire Talk
Humility is something to always strive to have more off. The heart of the widow. Casting in their all knowing that their faith wil be rewarded.
Gain more that just a testimony of the True-ness of the Book of Mormon, but of its power and Application.
Light is always there, morning always comes, but sometimes all we can do is wait for the light to retuen , or we can go to the right place, and leave the shadow (all of President Euchdorfs Preisthood session talk is my favorite one.)
Christ is a souse of healing.
Dont loose focus on Eternal Goal
We can become Fearless though Trust in Christ, and trust is a two way street.
